Today was a doozy at work. Three complaints from customers on my service guys from just straight up irrational people who are rude and disrespectful, and expect me to bend over backwards for them. I don’t play that shit. If you have a issue, and explain it to me reasonably, I will move heaven and earth to make you happy. Start talking shit and being disrespectful and yeah I don’t want your business, fuck off, and go somewhere else. People get so surprised when a business fires them as a customer, and are surprised when being rude doesn’t get them there way. Anyway, that frustration made my gym session awesome haha. Pissed and just pumped it out and got a nasty pump. My fiancé is in her final stages to become a school teacher and started shadowing today. Really proud of her, a big goal of mine was to support her in her goals and we see the end in sight. She has a great personality and patience to deal with kids (she gets a lot of practice with me haha) and I could never do something like that. Coming home and hearing about her day really improved my mood. Always something to be thankful for

 

[Trollus]

Solid day brother. I have to deal with customers like that a lot. Grown ass adults acting like children. Actually if my kids acted like that in public they’d be in deep $@&$. Congratulations to your wife. School teachers are another underpaid and under appreciated profession. That’s gotta be more of a higher calling sort of thing.

 

[PNWmuscle]

Appreciate it man. Yeah no kidding. I can deal with a lot but handling a room full of first graders I want no part of haha

I got a guy i know that is probably mid 40’s and is an absolute pain in the azz by nature. Every contractor he hires to do work for him has screwed him according to him.

I told him they have websites for consumers to rate contractors. The contractors have a list too and you’re on it. BAD PAIN IN THE AZZ CUSTOMER LIST. hahaha

 

[Bigmurph6]

This is what ive been seeing all around my area I feel like covid erased peoples ability to be people and respectful and kind I don’t understand why this has happened?

Congrats to the future wife brother

 

[Bigmurph6]

Actually if my kids acted like that in public they’d be in deep $@&$.

This is what I think about kids don’t act like some adults I have witnessed acting off the rails lately

School teachers are another underpaid and under appreciated profession. That’s gotta be more of a higher calling sort of thing.

So true. My wife’s day gig is as a teacher, and the sacrifices she makes and time she puts in is wildly disproportionate to her compensation.

Ok day. Glad it’s the weekend. Had those customers get to my head so I just need to put work stuff aside for the weekend and clear my head with it. Tend to find myself hold on the the negative stuff to much and working on just letting things go. I can only control what I have influence on, and if it’s out of my control it is what it is. Gearing up for a good leg day tomorrow morning. Need to keep diet under control this weekend, always tough as I get lax with the fiancé and want to take her out

 

[Trollus]

Nice work. You’re keeping diet tight. What if you just did One cheat meal with your fiancé, plan it enjoy it then back to the grind. Cheat meal=refeed. Good for the metabolism.

 

[PNWmuscle]

Yeah my plan is to keep it like that. Enjoy a little bit keep it under control

 

[JLee]

I can only control what I have influence on

Words to live by and to steal a quote from Elsa " let it go". Winning combo! Enjoy the weekend with your fiance.

 

[PNWmuscle]

Got some catching up

Saturday- weighed in 227.4

Had a cheat meal with the fiancé, probably totaled 2500 cals for the day

Sunday- no weigh in. Cheated here and there, more carbs and less protein than I would’ve liked. Pretty much took a day to relax, pretty much did nothing but hang at home. Got away from the work phone and work computer so that was nice. Back to the grindstone today. Weighed myself this morning and put on a few pounds of water over the weekend but should shed right off in a day or two. Hoping to get to 225 by the end of the week. A lot of the weight I’ve dropped is water so weight loss should start slowing soon

 

[Bigmurph6]

You got this brother 2.4lbs you can go bust a nut probably and drop that you got this brother.

I believe that your cheat meal will help you see more weight loss faster keeps the body dropping weight with refeeds

 

[PNWmuscle]

Cheat meals keep the fiancé happy too. When I’m strict on the diet she’s supportive and eats similar to me as far as food choices. So gotta let her live a little too haha

 

[Bigmurph6]

Happy wife happy life brother keep eating cheat meals lol I know its your fiance but she’s your wife because its easier to type

[Bigmurph6]
